    I was wondering, if i do buy this, the connectors look wierd to me, or maybe their just normal, but i will need some help wiring it up, can anyone give me an idea of how to start if i buy this or if i should not buy it, or link me to a faq on how to wire up that kind of connector. Thanks!

    Those 2 connectors are just for the cold cathode.

    That's where my knowledge ends :)

    JFYI: Thats an old laptop screen. You can search (or just look at the sticky at the top of the forum) about how well these things are for modding.

    Let me end the suspense, unless you know alot about programmable arrays or microcontrollers, or are willing to drop $150 on a pre-built controller, then forget it.

    This is not something you can hook-up to your parallel port.
